HELP!!! I wanna lose weight!

[Wonderful1908]

WHY WHY WHY!! Why do I have to come back to this thread?

Why becuase of Taco Cabana, McDonalds, Cookies, Fukee Chinese, Popeyes Tuedsay Special and damn it food is delicious!

However I am turning the big 3-0 in August and I must loose 30 lbs for turning 30!!

Whats even more depressing is I found my measurements from the gym when I got in shape for my wedding and they are so way off now. I think I will keep a pictorial jpurney.

I have on a size 14 skirt right now

Jill, congrats on the big loss! ITA w/ BB91; journaling is important. What I like best about it is I can go back and look at weeks that I gained or how I was eating to make me gain/lose. For me, it's more than just the accountability.

Soror Wonderful, you always take the weight off. I'm sure this 30lbs will be a distant memory in no time. And you know we're here for you!

May is going great for me! Did y'all know that since 1983, May has been observed as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month? I found out the other day and thought that it was ironic that I'd started FS on May 1st. Y'all!!! I'M STILL ON PLAN!!! And it's Day 6!!! I'm not complaining or longing for it to be over or anything. I'm actually kinda enjoying myself. Cooking stuff I've never cooked before. Made my very first smoothies. Learning new things. Decided to stick it out for the full 90 days. Why not? It's helping me eat more Core foods (which I think is a healthier plan for me than Flex Points, because I'll eat 24 points worth of ANYTHING). I honestly believe I'll be healthier when I'm done. Right now, I'm counting points with it, but today or tomorrow I'ma go back over the past week and check off all the Core foods. I may not have to even count any WAP. Yeah I will, rice cakes. Anyway, FS ain't so bad after all. I kinda like it.

Today is the Flying Pig Marathon here in Cinci. After Pilates class, I'ma go down to the finish line so I can see what people look like when they get done. I kinda need to know what the end will be like.

Last Sunday I was up 1.8 thanks to good old TofM and had to reclaim my seat in the 180s -- just barely. Well, thanks to plenty of walking, and all other kinds of exercise (33 APs total) I was down 3.2 -- and out of the 180s for good!

I had to weigh and run because of Selective Service training, but I will receive my 130-lb star at a meeting tomorrow.

I am 7.4 lbs from my 150-lb reward trip (Baltimore, here I come)! Hope everyone had a great day!

I dropped off my TNT registration this morning. It's a done deal. I am training for the NIKE Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I'm really excited!!! Nervous as all get out, but super excited. I will keep y'all posted. I need to blog.

If I was lazy before, I can't be now. Training starts this weekend.

Great!

I did my on this past Saturday. So, you got the purple bracelet also? I'm doing philly and considering the Nike Marathon in October. I heard that course is VERY VERY VERY hilly. If I can raise the 7000.00, I'll do both of them. Maybe we can meet since I'll be out there all by my lonesome.

Didn't that video at the meeting make you cry. When that video was done, I was 'bout to jump out my chair and start runnin right then. and Hell...I don't even run!!! I'm walking my marathon. LOL.

I am exciting also. My training also starts this weekend.

Good Luck!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!! Yes, girl, I was all teary eyed!! I would REALLY love if you could do Nike. I would LOVE to meet you out there. Cincinnati is a very hilly city, so I'm getting used to walking up hills. Running up them is gonna be a different story. But I'm glad I'm not training in a flat city!

I haven't gotten my stuff yet. Yesterday was the day after the Flying Pig Marathon here (a man collapsed and died afterward, and of course I read that right after I pay my money ), so no one was in the office. They are mailing me my materials. My training is gonna be kinda special because I can't train on Saturdays (Sabbath), so I have to do my long runs (walk/runs, let's be clear) by myself.

Day 8 of Fat Smash!!!!! Tomorrow is the last day of Phase I but I might do it one more week. Or I may do Phase II some days, but still have Phase I days. I still have plenty of produce left over, lol. I do kinda want some fish, lemme stop trippin, lol.

I can't wait to get on the scale on Thursday!!!

Where can I get my % body fat taken?
